On September 6th of 2021 we harvested the Chardonnay and returned to the winery where we pressed the grapes coarsely and slowly over hours

Forgotten World Trios becoming golden on the vineThis Chardonnay shows the incredible prowess of the 2023 vintage and the undeniable terroir of the Pearlstad Vineyard in Eola Amity Hills AVA. Rocky mineral notes waft from from the wine like salt on the wind while supple notes of apricot and peach fruit emerge from the depths. It has radiant acidity that create great length in the structured and disciplined body. We pressed the grapes directly after picking and fermented this in 500L Damy Puncheons.
